⚠️ Warning Below This is the story of a little girl who learned to grow in the silence-like a wildflower blooming through cracks in concrete. She lived in a house of shadows, where the walls whispered violence, and silence became her shield. Her days were shaped by what was unspoken-by hands that harmed, by trust that fractured, by love that came laced with pain. But even in that stillness, something stirred. Instead of drowning in the quiet, she began to listen-to the words of others who had walked through similar storms. Their stories were not just stories. They were maps, mirrors, and lifelines. Through their truths, she began to uncover her own. Now, she turns inward and outward, breaking her own silence-not with a scream, but with a steady voice that has waited a lifetime to be heard. This book is not just about trauma. It is about the bones of a broken girl who built a life from what was left behind. It's about grief, and the ghosts of family. About the way innocence can be stolen, yet spirit still survives. It's about the quiet power of letting go. But above all-it's about freedom. The kind you find not by fighting, but by finally releasing what was never yours to carry. And if even one soul finds a piece of themselves in these pages, then her voice, at last, has done what silence could not. ⚠️WARNING Author's Note & Content Warning: This is a deeply personal and emotional story that touches on domestic violence and childhood sexual abuse. While written to bring awareness, healing, and understanding, I recognise these topics may be distressing for some readers.

The Way She Loved Me delves into the complexities of growing up within a family that struggled to balance love, survival, and emotional healing. At the heart of this memoir is my relationship with my mother, a strong African American woman who, against all odds, raised seven children-often on her own. In a world that demanded so much from her, she embodied a quiet strength, yet beneath the surface was a reality filled with unspoken pain and sacrifice. Thankfully, support came in the form of my mother's cousins and her boyfriend, who became the nurturing father figures we all longed for. Their presence was a crucial lifeline, providing stability and guidance when we needed it most. Through their support, I learned the power of chosen family and the ways that love can manifest in unconventional forms. This narrative sheds light on a shared, often hidden experience within the Black community, where the weight of systemic challenges, personal struggles, and the desire to protect loved ones can create layers of silence. Beneath the facade of familial loyalty and love, there are often unresolved issues that go unspoken, creating cycles of hardship and emotional suppression. The Way She Loved Me explores the generational patterns that many families, especially in marginalized communities, continue to face. Silence often prevails, leaving unaddressed wounds that carry through the years. Through my story, I hope to encourage open dialogue, urging readers to break free from these patterns and begin the difficult but necessary process of healing. This memoir is not only a reflection of my own journey but also an invitation for others to confront their own struggles, to stop hiding their truths, and to foster a future grounded in honesty, support, and love. In sharing my story, I hope to ignite a movement toward healing and understanding within families, where the chains of silence can finally be broken, and the power of love can begin to truly heal.
